A well-known U.S. senator recently tied the knot after a brief but intense romance. Cory Booker, aged 56, shared the joyful news on social media, posting pictures from two separate wedding celebrations.

The Ceremonies

• First Ceremony: A private courthouse ceremony in Newark, New Jersey, attended by just their parents.
• Second Celebration: A larger gathering in Washington, D.C., where the couple celebrated with more friends and family.

The Bride

The bride, Alexis Lewis, 38, wore:

• A high-collared white dress with a cape and black heels for the courthouse wedding.
• A stunning strapless white lace gown for the second celebration.

The Union

The couple officially became husband and wife on November 24, with a wedding reception held on November 29. Their ceremony was unique, blending both Jewish and Christian traditions, as Lewis is Jewish and Booker is Christian.
